In fact, I also agree that behaviour is not ideal. For qt for example whatever
scrollbar policy programmer sets to QWebFrame, it will win to WebCore's
policies.

so QWebFrame::setScrollbarPolicy(Qt::Vertical, Qt::ScrollbarAlwaysOn) will show
a vertical scrollbar even if it was not needed (content smaller than viewport).

@Gustavo, just out of curiosity:

1) Do you consider to have this bahavior for WebKitGtk? 

2) What is the usecase for this API as is?

3) What are the limitations of GtkScrolledWindow?

:)
